Olympic Snowboarding Legend Shaun White Surprises CAF Athlete Zach Sherman at Woodward Park City
CAF and Olympic snowboarding legend Shaun White orchestrated a special surprise for Zach Sherman, a triple amputee from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The fivetime Olympic snowboarding legend met his biggest fan at Woodward Park City for his new lifestyle brand, Whitespace. Shaun surprised Zach for a snowboard session together and then presented him with a CAF grant for coaching, travel and training expenses so he can pursue his dream of competing in adaptive snowboard competitions. Zach Sherman, the 35yearold, redhaired adaptive snowboarder, lost both legs and an arm after a lifethreatening motorcycle accident in 2010. Zach has been an avid snowboarder since the late 90s and claims the sport has been an integral part of his life from a young age. After several years of developing a set of feet with binding attachments, he has relearned how to snowboard and has been able to improve on the prostheses to become a better adaptive snowboarder.
